Review of Bluebell Hill Children's Nursery from A T (Mother of Child) published on 28 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Personally I feel the nursery needs to improve in documenting what the children have done throughout the day. I feel they should a designated person each day to document what the children, have eaten, drunk, what activities they have gotten up to. Because at present we don't seem to get much information. My son visit nursery twice a week for 10 hrs each and in those hours it would be nice to be able to actually see what he has been up to! I understand it can be busy but it shouldn't be hard to say what they have done on that day as you don't always receive a handover of the day when more than one parent is picking up their child at a time. Also when there's a photographer coming would be nice to be told what day they are coming as well. The girls are all lovely in the hut/beach room but I find we don't always get a full handover and don't always know the new starters names.

Review of Bluebell Barn Children's Nursery from Courtney B (Mother of Child) published on 23 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son is currently in Raspberries and his key person is Poppy. He absolutely adores her and is always excited to go to nursery. It is reassuring to know he is genuinely cared for and has built such a strong bond with her. He will be moving to Cherries in September and we will be very sad to leave Raspberries.
Overall, we are very happy with the nursery. My son has made great friendships and regularly comes home chatting excitedly about his day. The only issue has been occasional inconsistency with app updates, although Poppy has always been receptive to feedback and proactive in addressing this.
I generally prefer to speak directly with Poppy regarding any concerns, as she knows my son so well. While I appreciate the management team, I have not always found them particularly approachable.

My main concern is the high staff turnover at Bluebell Barn. Several valued team members have left during our time there, and continuity is important for both children and parents.

Reply from Rhiane Thripp, Social Media and Marketing Coordinator at Bluebell Barn Children's Nursery
Thank you so much for your feedback. Poppy is a fantastic room lead and we are so pleased your son has enjoyed his time in Raspberries!
Your feedback has been passed on to help us continually improve.

We have been sad to see some wonderful teachers move on but we are incredibly excited for the...

Review of Bluebell Hill Children's Nursery from Laura P (Mother of Child) published on 23 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter starts school in September, so it's with sadness that her time at Bluebell Hill is coming to an end but I will always be grateful for the love and care she has received. Beach school, first aid, yoga, football and more, she's had such a wide range of experiences which I'm sure will help her thrive at school.

The staff take absolutely everything in their stride- extreme weather, mini bus of children and remain caring and upbeat- highly recommend!

Review of Bluebell Wood Children's Nursery from G A (Mother of Child) published on 23 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We couldn't be happier with the care our son has received at Bluebell Wood. The staff are incredibly kind, caring, and genuinely invested in the children, they create such a warm, nurturing environment. It's clear they know each child well and take the time to support them as individuals.
He absolutely loves going in, which says everything. He happily walks in each morning, which is such a comfort and a real bonus for us as parents. His transition into the next class was handled so smoothly and thoughtfully, making the whole process feel calm and well-managed.
The nursery provides proper, home-cooked meals that are both nutritious and varied, which we really value. On top of that, there's always a fantastic range of fun, engaging activities that keep the children stimulated, learning, and enjoying themselves.

We're so grateful to the whole team Bluebell Wood is a truly special place, and we feel very lucky to be part of it.

Review of Bluebell Hill Children's Nursery from Benjamin P (Father of Child) published on 23 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son still attends Bluebell Hill Children's Nursery and we have been extremely pleased with the care and support he has received.
The staff are warm, friendly, and genuinely care about the children's wellbeing and development. Since attending, my son has grown in confidence, developed new skills, and always looks forward to going to nursery.
The team provides a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment with a wide range of activities that support learning through play. Communication with parents is excellent, and we are regularly updated on our son's progress and daily activities.

We feel reassured knowing our son is in such capable and caring hands. We would highly recommend Bluebell Hill Children's Nursery to other parents looking for a supportive and engaging childcare setting AMAZING

Review of Bluebell Hill Children's Nursery from Chelsie K (Mother of Child) published on 16 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our little boy joined Bluebell Hill back in January 2026 when he was only 11

months old. It was such a hard transition going back to work and leaving our little boy, but Bluebell did a home visit and some settle sessions which were absolutely amazing. Our little boy has loved his (now) two days a week with his nursery class and he loves the varied enrichment and also all of the yummy food he gets. We can relax knowing he's safe and knowing he's having a blast. We get updates while he's at nursery and we get to speak to his nursery teachers at each pick up. It's an all round brilliant nursery and I'd recommend it to anyone.

Review of Bluebell Wood Children's Nursery from Lydia G (Mother of Child) published on 12 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter is almost 16 months and she has been attending since she was 13 months. She settled in really well and all the staff in the bunnies room were so welcoming and accomodating when she first started and helping her ease into the routine and specicially helped her nap in a new environment and she has gone from doing sport half an hour naps to longer 1/2 hour naps.
She always enjoys the acivties and on pick up i get a run down of how her day has been. Staff are good at updating food, naps and nappy changes that occur during the day so i can see at work and it gives me reassurance of how the day is going.

I have had no problems contacting staff for queries, and they have also contacted me about Alice when she is unwell, so i know she is in safe hands and being taken care off.

Reply from Carmen Weller, Project Coordinator at Bluebell Wood Children's Nursery

Thank you for your wonderful review. We are so pleased your daughter has settled well in Bunnies.

Review of Bluebell Wood Children's Nursery from Gina M (Mother of Child) published on 12 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Absolutely brilliant nursery. Both of my children have loved Bluebell Wood. The staff are lovely, and they always go the extra mile to make sure the children are having a lovely time and are extremely well cared for. They often do extra events such as the Christmas decoration making and the summer party, and extra activies like yoga. The safety at the nursery is excellent with the gate system, and I have always felt confident having the children there. All the team are brilliant, and get to know the children and their needs so well. Would recommend to anyone! Thank you all at Bluebell Wood

Review of Bluebell Barn Children's Nursery from V L (Mother of Child) published on 12 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Bluebell Barn Nursery is amazing. Our child has a visual impairment and the staff go out of their way to support them in nursery to access all areas and be included. The staff are so kind and supportive to us as a family as well as caring for our child. They truly care. Nothing is a silly request or question and they do their best to listen and accommodate. The updates throughout the day and at the end of the day reassure me my child is having a good day especially when I am missing them at work. Very happy with our experience. The nursery is always clean and the activities throughout the day are fun, inventive and support the children's development as well as meeting the child's individual interests.

Bluebell Barn Nursery is amazing. Our daughter loves it there, she has been going for 7 months and from day one has loved it, she settled so quickly and I genuinely think that's because the staff are all so lovely, caring and welcoming. She puts her arms out for the staff and doesn't even look back for mum or dad.

Overall Experience

Bluebell Barn Nursery continue to give my daughter the best experiences. She absolutely loves attending and has been going since she was 11 months old - she is now nearly 3. The staff are brilliant and keep me informed with everything I need to know. My daughter enjoys the wide range of activities she does daily, including baby ballet! The soft play area suits her hyperactive needs very well. If I have had any problems, staff have resolved this immediately. Couldn't recommend a better nursery.

Review of Bluebell Barn Children's Nursery from Rebecca T (Mother of Child) published on 10 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
From the very first moment we walked into Bluebell Barn for our show round, we felt genuinely welcomed.
The team took the time to walk us through each classroom, explain how everything worked and most importantly engaged with our daughter, who was nearly 2 at the time. That small gesture meant so much to us.
She has now been through the Blueberries, Raspberries and is currently thriving in Cherries and throughout every stage we've been consistently impressed.
Having a background in childcare myself, I visited many nurseries in the area and out of all the settings we looked at and there were a lot , Bluebell Barn truly stood out from the rest.

The level of care, the thoughtful activities and the genuine attention given to each child have supported our daughter's development beautifully. We couldn't be happier with her progression or with the nurturing environment she's grown up in. Thank you

Bluebell Barn is a fantastic nursery! All of the staff are so kind, warm and welcoming. When my son first started in the baby room, he found it hard to detach from me. The staff were so loving and patient with him. Now, he skips in to nursery every day with a huge smile on his face! The staff work hard to plan such fun and engaging activities for the children. I couldn't recommend Bluebell Barn enough - they're amazing!

Review of Bluebell Hill Children's Nursery from Erin F (Mother of Child) published on 20 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Bluebell Hill have been fantastic with my little girl, she started nursery 2 days a week from 9 months old, and she's come on leaps and bounds since and enjoys all the activities the girls do with them! She always tries different foods, messy play (all the shops stuff!) I find it so easy they provide essentials, nappies wipes, cream etc so all I need to do is pack her some clothes to take with her!
Special shout-out to her key person who really supported her getting used to nursery, and another member of staff too. All the girls are lovely and show her kindness and care.
The manager is very helpful and friendly and answers any questions I have!

As a first time mum it was so scary sending her to nursery so young, but everyone made me feel at ease and I know she's being looked after and having a good time!
